IIRC, full Unicode-only internal handling on strings has only been completed in 3.2 (samba developers would probably better confirm this than me) so it wouldn't be surprising that it doesn't work anymore. You really should convert that file to UTF-8: iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 <smb.conf >smb.conf.new Hopefully, AIX 6 has iconv..:-)...otherwise you need to edit the file on an UTF-8 enabled system (any recent Linux distro is probably well suited). at worst, just try replacing the umlauts with ASCII characters, just to see (of course that will lead to Ugly German...). -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
